For parents, these are games that your Disney-fied kids will be clamoring for. They’re mostly aimed at children ages 6 to 10 with the exception of Think Fast, which is a Scene It?-style family title.

Bolt is based on the November film about a Hollywood dog who escapes his cloistered life and thinks he’s a super hero. Thankfully, the studio Avalanche Software steered away from the conventional movie-game trappings and doesn’t retell the story of Bolt’s real world exploits.

Instead, the team gives players an original story by revealing some of Bolt’s adventures on his TV show. The whole setup is done smartly. Rhino, the hamster sidekick and Bolt’s No. 1 fan, decides to watch a Bolt marathon and players go through those TV shows as 25 levels. They play as either the titular hero or Penny, his human counterpart.

Both have different play styles. Bolt will appeal to the action crowd. As the pup, the game looks like a normal beat-’em up, where players knock out enemies with puppy punches, throws, lasers and the occasional sonic bark. There’s also a way to charge up the superpowers by performing chained combos.

On the other hand, Penny has to be more sneakier. Her powers rely mostly on technology and stealth. She’ll have to turn invisible, sneak through levels and do some platforming.

Avalanche Studio worked closely will with Walt Disney Animation Studios to keep the game’s tone and art style similar to the one in the movie, and it looks like a good move. Bolt the video game does look similar to the film. (I’m sure the fact that both are computer-generated helps.)

Look for the game Nov. 18 on the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 2 and Wii. There’s also a separate Nintendo DS version that is made by a different team.

Next up, I took a look at the Club Penguin Elite Penguin Force. The game is a spin-off of the hugely successful Web site Club Penguin, a social community for children.

What’s generating the buzz is that the game actually works with the Web site. Fans can go through the game collecting coins in minigames such as Jet Pack Races or Ice Fishing and transfer those coins onto the official site. There, they can be spent on items such as clothes and such in the larger community.

From the sound of it, Elite Penguin Force almost sounds like a satellite version of Club Penguin. Of course, you can do similar things as on the Web site. Fans can play through minigames and microgames. They can collect Puffles, which are the penguins sidekicks who each have a special power that helps them solve puzzles. Players can even purchase in-game clothes and trade them with friends who have Elite Penguin Force.

But the main focus seems to be on adventure-style gaming and minigames. Players will come across other penguins who are in trouble and they’ll have to save them using things they find in the environment. For example, in a dojo level, one penguin will be stuck in a bubble. Players will have to find something that pops it and that could be a sharp bamboo pole on the side of the screen.

They’ll have to tap it with they stylus and drag it over to pop the bubble. Fairly simple.

The game even supports DGamer, Disney’s Xbox Live-style service. Players can earn honors for finishing parts of the game and they can even win costumes for their DGamer avatars. As fans get deeper in the game, they’ll eventually get weekly newsletters and polls that are downloadable. There’s also a change of environment that reflects the four seasons.

As for the multiplayer aspect, the developer thought of some smart way to get kids interacting. There’s a Command Coach that helps veteran Elite Penguin Force train newbies to the game. They can also compete in minigames against each other.
